## Resource

Rusts Upgrade Hard, Raid Harder update introduces a new upgrade system with nine rare bonuses, encouraging players to venture into risky raids. Mortars, new portable artillery, add long-range combat, but require practice to master. Other changes include customizable tin can alarms, a revamped vending machine interface, and a crypt stone skin for bases. Rust is currently on sale for $20, half off, but the deal ends soon, promising increased server chaos as players explore these updates.
